Watched it again and I don't feel like I saw anything other than the volume of wildlife that looked different to the demo on PC. Foliage is about the same. Lighting is about the same. Animations are about the same. Item pickup overlay is gone and weapon sounds are nowhere near as good. Not everyplace has heavy foliage but if you just want to stand in some dense foliage you certainly can do so.
Hubworld in the demo and in the footage are just completely different in terms of number of NPCs, things moving in the background, and likely even how quests are handled out. Then as to the exploratory sections, creature density is almost non-existent in the demo. The particles look richer such as the bullet trails when the person is flying and encountering enemy fire. Environment interactions look significantly more fleshed out as well such as when that walker is hit and crashes into trees.
I do find it odd especially when we're talking about missions that are instanced and they have enough info about where the player is heading to be able to stream the next area in the background. I'd like to think it's a demo issue, but that's probably giving them too much benefit of the doubt at this stage.
Thats because Youtube is being a pain and leaving lots of videos at 360p. I have one up showing PC,X & Pro but although I uploaded in HD the vids still at 360p 24hrs after uploading.
They're dynamic so you'll trigger them automatically when you're close to them
Once they are done, that's it. Apart from the freeroam and stronghold, that's about it.

Ice storm and fireball are my gotos but if you want something faster then use the frost shards and lightning blast combo.
Hyperbole much. Did you play the game maxed on PC? I wouldn't call it a "crazy downgrade".
Anyone can download it since it's the same demo that will be open to everyone next weekend. Whether or not you can play it yet will be the issue.
Ah I see, didn't know you could download it already before the open period. Thanks.
They show a purple storm shaped icon in one of the tutorials.
I am guessing that the Strongholds stuff with multiple difficulties will keep people going but I don't expect Bioware to hide the endgame too long. Also, the Shaper Storms could be in multiple times of gameplay so they might mix things up a bit. Will be good to see a content time-line.
I did and besides the obvious change in Fort Tarsis, the demo looks like a different biome or a different location from the one in the reveal. Assets, animations, post processing, the demo has it all. Yes, the reveal looks better but it isn't a "crazy downgrade".
